Anyone who has studied the Samurai culture.😊

Really not easy to reproduce the absolute genius of Vinnie Colaiuta, one of the best drummer in the world, but this girl can do anything...

You can tell how good Yoyoka was from the smile on the bass player's face! 😍

That vocalist has to be extremely thankful to be singing with Yoyoka. So bloody pitchy. That drummer she is already a phenom.

This kid has turned into one of the most formidable musicians on the worldwide block. I wish she would never leave the U.S., as the opportunities that exist for her would be here in America, right? Not anymore - all opportunities are working there way to her. Simple fact ~ she will earn this trophy. Just so sick and tired of watching Ingenues come in off of some fame trip, American Idol and believe that the band will come to them. The band of the century - not hardly a chance. I cannot wait to see the top musicians and bands come to HER to record their music. She will be a formidable leader in the industry, not one doubt. Drummer on records, or recording engineer, or producer ~ this Yoyo is set for the throne in the music industry. Parents have kept her safe from moguls who want to use and abuse her talent for profit - excellent job they have done! Nobel Prize efforts to keep this kid sheltered and focused on her passion. They too, have shown incredible business and wellness sense ~ power to them and prayers. Best of luck, kid ~ and cheers to the family!

She's going to be the secret sauce behind half the big studio recordings made in the next few decades. Calling it now.

Yoyoka’s level of professionalism and maturity at her age just blows me away. What a fantastic performance.🐰🥁🐰🥁🐰

After learning what exactly fantasy drum camp is this video feels ten times more satisfying. That’s an audience of drummers, they get it. I also think there’s Dave Weckl and Gary Husband in the back of the room

And they are all drummers.

she can do in live band perfectly. for me she's one of the best female drummers in the world of professional drummers.

Fantasy Drum Camp: Where kids go to learn how to be drummers, and the instructors got to listen to Yoyoka level up.

I'm so jealous of those in attendance. Only time in my life I wish I lived in SoCal. YOYOKA was brilliant!!!

It’s one thing to be able to jam with the original recordings.. it’s another thing altogether to hold the song down .. and not just any song.. an odd time song with seasoned professionals as well.. and that groove was real.

I assume this band is performing with a lot of different drummers during the event, so probably don’t always know what to expect going in. “So, a 13 year old wants to cover ‘Seven Days’? Ummm, ok…” and then about two bars in, “Ohhh, OK then!”

Well deserved standing ovation! It's amazing how modest she is about her abilities! It makes her so uncomfortable to get the respect and recognition that she is always given, and so well deserves. What a wonderful human being and a gift to us all! I feel blessed to have met her (and all the Soma's)!

OMG, she breezes through this smooth yet very difficult Sting song!! AND this is an unrehearsed one-take performance.... 😲totally amazing!!

A well deserved standing ovation.

I believe that was Hagar Ben Ari on bass, and she grinned the whole time and led the applause. That's an incredible compliment right there, not to mention the ovation from the rest of the band (equally accomplished musicians) and a room full of people who are, at the least, serious enough drummers to take several days and a good chunk of money to attend the event. Bravo.

This live unrehearsed performance as well as her live practice stream over the weekend absolutely mind blowing stuff🤯the growth in Yoyoka’s playing in less than two years is astounding, not sure I’ve ever seen anything like it

to make odd time signatures groove is a hallmark of great drummers. i love the double time kick drum sections. keep studying the greats, Yoyoka! 20-30 years down the road, a young kid will discover your playing and you will inspire them on to greatness. bass player's smile says it all.

Hagar Ben Ari plays with Pomplamoose and I think Scary Pockets too. Fantastic ! She looks like she's having genuine fun playing with Yoyoka.

@@andrewplumb6544 Right on. She's a highly experienced and well-regarded bass player. To see her smile and enjoy what she's experiencing says a lot about Yoyoka. It's fun to watch!!!

She was in the pocket. And played very maturely and did what was perfect for the song. She’s so ahead of the game for her age in that aspect. So many drummers much older just want to show off their chops not thinking about how to benefit the song. I was guilty of that lol

That was FANTASTIC and Sting never sounded better!!!

Awesome. Simply outstanding from the young drummer. ❤

Bravo yoyoka!… live band to seven days what a great cover👏👏👏🔥🥁🤩😁

Yoyoka , you just wowed a room full of adults. You’re so professional on challenging technical pieces. Well done.

yoyoka is the real deal!!!! i always say she is the next neil peart! ❤️

This was too cool. I'll bet this was a very special event to have attended and a real treat for those who did. God's blessings!

Ok I guess this is officially the Yoyoka video I keep coming back to the most. This sounds so good. Whenever I'm getting upset I watch this and it catches my attention and calms me down every time.

WOW!!! From San Diego

I've watched this so meny times. blown away by how awesom this drum track is.🥁⚡☝🏻🤘🏼👍✨🌟

Well, that sure brought an ear-to-ear smile to my face! Loved everyone’s reaction too. 😊

Yoyoka is my fav. female drummer … 🥁 I’ve been playing drums all my life (a long time!) and she blows me away with her skill and knowledge of all the hard to play music .. Stewart Copeland would be so proud ..

This is astounding. She looks like she's been playing this every night with this band for ages, and yet they did it with no rehearsal. Wow. This is why Yoyoka will be very highly sought after - she masters the track in very little time, she is extremely consistent and yet can improvise when called for, and she will show up sober and on time lol. Those last two points are actually more important to some top-level producers than the rest in fact, as a friend of mine told me when he went to Las Vegas to do session and live work.

@NonEuclideanTacoCannon

Made me remember an anecdote I read somewhere or other. In LA in the 80's and early 90s, certain hard rock/hair metal bands weren't able to actually play well enough to record. They would show up to the studio drunk or high, fight amongst themselves, and refuse to play more than a few takes. They also had obvious ego issues. So, after the band would leave, the producers would have this guy called The Technician or The Mechanic or something like that come in and re-record each track. For every instrument. He'd nail it first take. So many classic LA hard rock songs from various bands are all played secretly by this one dude. I have no idea if it's true, but it sounds plausible.

@Glen.Black.

10 ай бұрын

It is! She is light years above many professionals that have to do a dozen takes to get it just right. When she came to Las Vegas, I was with her when she did the recording session for Led Zeppelin's "The Ocean" with "EllenPlaysBass" (Ellen Alaverdyan) and two other local musicians. She had just met Ellen a couple hours before in Ellen's studio. They just toured the studio, no practice or playing, went to get an ice cream, then we drove over to the studio. YOYOKA and Ellen walk in, not in the least bit nervous, the other two were practicing, and a bit nervous. YOYOKA is now meeting them for the first time at that moment, YOYOKA tunes her kit, Ellen, tunes her bass, they do the sound checks with the engineer, and without playing or practicing it a single time, they nail it on the first take. Was simply amazing to watch our little pro in action!
